    Hi,

       In my delphi code i had lines like:

    Application.helpjump('power_plant');

       In delphi 7 it worked alright, but when i migrated to delphi 2005
    it doesn't work although i added the unit WinHelpViewer to the uses
    clause. Helpjump return true, so the filename of the help file (.hlp)
    is a valid name, somewhere i saw the advice to use helpcontext rather
    than helpjump but i have to clue what the parameter means and random
    numbers didn't jump to any page of the file help but rather gave an
    error: unknown index.

       Please, i'd be very grateful if someone could shed any light about
    this issue.

    Very appreciated.
